Cofiniteness of generalized local cohomology modules for ideals of small dimension

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative noetherian ring $R$ and $M, N$ two finitely generated $R$-modules. By using a spectral sequence argument, it is shown that if either $\mathrm{dim}_RM\leq2$ and $\mathrm{H}^{i}_\mathfrak{a}(N)$ are $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite for all $i\geq0$, or $\mathrm{H}^{i}_\mathfrak{a}(N)$ is an $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite module of dimension $\leq1$ for each $i\geq1$, or $q(\mathfrak{a},R)\leq1$, then the $R$-modules $\mathrm{H}^{t}_\mathfrak{a}(M,N)$ are $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite for all $t\geq0$.
